EU delegation declines Indian invitation to visit Occupied Kashmir

ISLAMABAD (KMS) – The European Union (EU) will not be part of the foreign delegates’ team visiting Occupied Kashmir on Friday on the Indian government’s invitation. The two-day tour would be attended by envoys from the Latin America and Africa. Diplomats from Australia and several Gulf nations, who were expected to go, have dropped out due to what they called ‘scheduling’ reasons. An official of the EU told the media that the EU envoys did not want a guided tour of Occupied Kashmir. “We want to meet people freely of our own choosing.” The official said that some of the envoys are also keen on meeting the three former chief ministers, Dr Farooq Abdullah, Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti.
